Hubert Cecil Booth invented a large suction pump, connected to a hose that was attached to a hollow container where the dirt was collected. This was the first vacuum cleaner.
It took years for Booth to make a cleaner that could be used by the public (his initial design included a suction pump that was so large, it had to be drawn around in a horse-drawn carriage!).
Today, the vacuum cleaner can be found in almost every house in the world. It runs on electricity.
What can we expect vacuum cleaners to be like in the future?
